We Tried Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Yellow Mini Sheet Cake
with Chocolate Frosting! I've been on alert for Trader Joe's Yellow Mini Sheet Cake with chocolate frosting after seeing u/aswewaltz posted it in NY on Reddit 8 days ago. Every trip, I was disappointed. But today...finally... TJ's in the PNW have been blessed with the new gluten free sheet cake. So let's cut into it!…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns
I was skeptical when I saw that Trader Joe's newest dumpling was teriyaki-flavored. Teriyaki in a bao? I imagined a gloopy super sweet soy-based sauce overwhelming the veg filling. But now that I've tried Trader Joe's Teriyaki Mushroom Mini Bao Buns? I think it's meant to be more of a shorthand toward a sweet,…

HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND by Jackie Lau | 4-star Review

He's Not My Boyfriend

ARC Provided by the Author for Review

He’s Not My Boyfriend is Jackie Lau’s Best Yet: More Laughs, Medium Angst. Totally Irresistible.

Jackie Lau’s previous books have looked to forced proximity to get hero and heroine together. In her latest, HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND, it’s straightforward. An initial meet in a craft beer bar turns into a one night stand. It ends up being more satisfying, not to mention more complicated, than either Iris or Alex bargained for when their paths cross again — at work.

Even more than the chemistry between Iris and Alex, I loved the family elements in this story. Alex and his dad are figuring out how to relate to each other. Iris’ family is as crazy as ever. I loved every scene with Iris’ Ngin Ngin (grandma). She’s a brash 90-years young woman who’s made great friends at her community center and is discovering a love for romance novels. She’s the comic relief here. Her bluntness about life, romance, her grandchildren and modern relationships is absolutely delightful. I’m ready for the Golden Girls remake starring Ngin-Ngin and her friends.


Bonus points for the Simu Liu/Kim’s Convenience reference (go watch it on Netflix, if you haven’t!!) and for resolving rather than leaving the HR issues hanging.

If you’re trying to escape your own crazy family, go meet Iris’. HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND is my favorite from Jackie Lau yet.
